Can I just say that I had been living with a cracked & demented window in my office since I moved into my new studio, so effectively since late-April? My handy-dude Steve (not my hubby Brent, who is the least handy dude around if it isn't related to computers) boarded it up with plywood while I had to wait for the glaziers to come but BOY! it was dang ugly and I cringed each and every time I saw it.

Fast forward to Monday afternoon when I got my new set of windows put in... happiness abounded! I danced with joy, I chortled with glee... yes, a very happy camper was I. Ain't it purty??

But purty-er still is this card made by uber-stamper Laurie Palozzi. Laurie is one of the most talented stampers I know, and I'm so lucky to have her as part of my happy family of Canadians, INK! gals.

She created this fabulous-o card using Stampin' Up!'s new Level 3 Hostess set "Window Dressing". Take a look at the attention to detail that Laurie always brings to her creations: the dry-embossed "siding", the raised shutters and framing to help bring the little girl to the forefront, the extra layering so that the picture is actually behind the windows, which the top part is actually "glassed" in. Oh, and the "grass" ribbon along the bottom, too!

Thanks for letting me share your beautiful card with all my blog readers, Laurie! I'm sure they'll appreciate it as much as I do :)

Happy stamping,
